People have woken up in Indian River County. In the latest saga of the overthrow of overpriced electric rates by resdients the town of Indian River Shores has refiled a lawsuit against Vero Beach.
The issue with Vero Beach is just like what FPUA customers struggle with.
Mayor Brian Barefoot reminded the public that Shores residents pay an estimated $2 million more in rates than Florida Power & Light would charge for the same kilowatt hours.
“I would like to say that it’s unfortunate that we’ve come to this point,” Barefoot said, but that the Council must act to protect its residents.
Councilman Tom Cadden, who has worked on the electric issue for nearly five years has strived to get the low FPL rates he enjoys as one of the 20 percent of northern Shores residents already on FPL for his neighbors.
FPUA customers know too well about oppressive electric rates.
